Organizations in Chicago

Three Run Two was born in Logan Square, Chicago, out of a passion for self-improvement, community, and cultural awareness. Founded on the belief that running is about much more than miles, the crew celebrates diversity and brings together everyone from first-time runners to ultra-marathoners. There's no pace hierarchy here, just genuine people who show up Tuesday and Thursday nights in Logan Square to run, connect, and belong. The crew is organic and relatable, a true reflection of Chicago in all its variety. Whether you're chasing a personal record or breaking bread with neighbors, Three Run Two proves that running is the vehicle for something bigger than the distance itself.

Tortugas Run Club was founded in March 2021 by David, who created a running community where slower-paced runners finally feel welcome. The name honors a family photo of his mother and her sisters racing as "Las Tortugas." Now around 60 members strong, the crew gathers on Chicago's Lower West Side under captains Kristin, Chris, JLuis, and Chino. Their philosophy is clear: the back of the pack is a valid place to run from, and pace is never a measure of belonging. Every runner receives the same energy, and no one gets left behind. Every Sunday at 10:00am, Tortugas Run Club meets at Harrison Park for their weekly group run, a tradition that feels exactly right for this tight-knit, genuinely inclusive crew.
